The Trouble at Hudson, Wis,

The North Hudson Building and Loan
association was organized in 1875 with a
capital stock OF 500, 900, Under the
last series $4,000 has been paid in, stock
being held by a few business men, clerks
and laboring men. No articles OF incor-
poratiou appear to have ever been filed,
as required by law. Its sudden collapse is
due to the ~unbounded confidence reposed
IN F. H. Harvey, who, as secretary, re-
ceived all payments for the past
five years. Harvey died recently,
leaving rumors OF croCkedness
in other transactions, and upon the cleo.

DR.. Brush, the Wisconsin Wife Murderer and
Sn!cide.

DR.. Charles R. Brush Of Avoca, Iowa
county, March last, was the suspected
cause Of the death OF his wife, who died
suddenly and mysteriously. Hewas shown
to have lived unhappily with her, and it
appeared he had poisoned her. One night
during the examination he commit
ted suicide with morphine in
the Dodgeville Jail. BrusiIs
antecedents were a mystery. The North
western Mutual Life, with which he insured,
wishing to avoid payment Of n 81 900
policy, made in 1888 to his wife and two
children, on tha ground that he was sane
when ne committed suicide, has revealed
much OF Brusil's life history. He is found
to have gone through the war a Union
private. In 1865 he was q farm
hand about Bloomington. He mar
ried g. woman Of loose charaC-
ter, they parted, and he married again,
and here he appears a bigamist. Not long
after his second marriage he and his broth
err engaged in some horse stealing opera
tions, and he was arrested, convicted. and
sentenced to serve five years in the prison
at Joliet. He resisted capture, and was
shot through the foot by an officer.
On account Of his wounded foot he was
placed in the prison hospital. He became
a useful attendant and learned all the
medicine he afterwards practiced, when in
1880 he came to Avoca. His second wife,
when he was convicted, got n divorce, II
is the wife of a respectable man in Kansas.
He failed to capture a widow at Avoca,
but he did a less inquisitive AvoCa
girl, whom he killed a few years later.

Termination Of the Minnesota State Prison Con-
tract.

Attorney General Oapp went to Still
water and served the formal notice issued
by Gov. McGill terminating the prison
labor contract Sept. I. 1855. This is in
accordance with the anti-prison labor on
tract law passed last winter, which requires
that one years notice shall be served
on the contractors, and the procee dings
we're merely formal. The state board
OF prison inspectors passed a
resolution in accordance with
the law, and the notice was signed by the
inspectors and Warden SOordock. andserv-
ed Spon Receiver e. s, Brown. of the
Northwestern Car works; w. S. Goodhue,
secretary OF the car company; H. j Cham
bers, secretary OF Seymour, Sabin & Co.,
and upon the clerk OF j. q. O'Gorman, re-
ceiver Of Seymour, Sabin & Co., Mr.. O'Gor-
mar being absent from the state. Gov.
McGill was interviewed by a reporter, and
said:
The prison contract labor system has
been disapproved by the labor party for
several years. and in the platform Of
the Republican party, upon which
| was elected there was a clause
whereby the party agreed to l~egisIate so
as to abolish prison contract labor sys-
tenn. The law in chapter l66 Is the out
growth OF that feeling. The law provides
that all prison contracts shall cease one
year after notice oy the board Of prisons in
spectors. Such notice was served upon
the Interested parties at Saltwater, and
the prison contracts will expire on Sept. /,
1888. The matter oil using the appropria-
tion 81 $50, 600, which is Incorporated in
the bin. and also to what use the prison
labor win be put, are questions which the
board OF prison inspectors viii determine
in the future. AS yet there has been no
conference or talk in regard to the matter,
and ! do not know what will be the out.

THIEviNG INDIANS.
Troubles between Tribes In and Dat
OF The United states.

OF the United states.
Canada makes no effort to prevent
marauding bands of Indians from
leaving their reservations under the
control of the Dominion government. "
said Lieut.. George b. Backus, Of the Isl
cavalry. who Is on q lieve of absence
from Fort Buiord. land until, some
steps are taken In that direction just so
long will there be Indian troubles
along the frontier. Besides our forts
are too far from each other, and espec.
tally from one of the main entrances
used by the raiding Indians, to be Of
any practical service in preventing
such forays. Take Fort Buford, for
one instance, eighty miles from the
boundary line. Assiniboine, forty miles
distant from the same point, There
is long stretch of country, about two.
hundred miles between these forts and
the rocky mountains, and through one
of these passes the Indians make their
entrance into the United States. They
are for the most part Bloods, or as they
arc known. East Crees, and they confnc
their depredations to peaceably disposed
Indians like the Assiniboin ines, and set.
tiers, but are careful to give the war.
like Gros Ventres a wide berth Their
raids are for the most part for the
purpose of running off horses, and they
usually come across the line in
parties ranging from ten to twelve al
the most. Mingling among the friendly
Piegans after they have run off num-
Der of horses, they take good rest
and recuperate, and in the meantime
it is utterly impossible to detect them.
owing to the care taken of them by
their allies The point at which they
come into the States is noted for
the abundance of water and facilities
for grazing, and, in my opinion, an.
other fort could be probably located
on the PIegan reservation and would
act as check in preventing these in
cursions.
whenever any of our Indians steal
stock from their Canadian brethren,
and they are caught, the stolen
property is promptly given up; but on
the other side OF the line it is different
What the Bloods steal they keep. un.
less they are detected before they get
out of this country and then they are
forced to abandon their plumber. Our
Indians complain bitterly about the
injustice thus manifested and say:
When zoe take anything from the Cana
dams our agents make us give it back;
but when the Canadians rob as they are
permitted to keep it. There is some
show of reason in their argument.
These raids can only be stopped by
cavalry, but the force that we now
have at our disposal to guard this i'm
mense territory comprises only about
four troops of about fifty men each.
There should be fifty-fve men in a com
plete troop. but we are short, of our
number at both forts. Then too, the
smallness of raiding parties makes
their discovery difficult, and it fire.
quently occurs that trail is three on
four hours old ere we start in pursuit,
and the results are consequently very
meagcr. think during the past year
our troops have compelled raidine
bands of Canadian Indians to give up
fifteen ponies, and these were dropped
behind when the. chase became too hoi
for the enemy."-Sk Paul Globe.

night and identify him. Signed j. NJ King,

the necessary warrant for his arrest from
